Nadir
(Arabic) the worst moment of a particular situation
the Zenith is never fixed
humans always strive for higher, bigger, better
and hence nothing is hated
as hated as the nadir
the lowest, worst and last.
Humanity went through it all
in the spam of a pandemic
the philanthropy
and the apathy
the hope and the grief
again and again
the wave
up and down
life itself.

Yes, both Nadir and Zenith are never fixed and we suprise ourselves at going beyond the peaks in both these cases.

ReplyDeleteSometimes when you hit the lowest point the only way out is upwards ....

The Hindi word 'nidar' comes to mind as an antidote to the Arabic 'nadir'.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, thanks for sharing Arti
DeleteThis poem is so synonymous with life and its constant ups and down phases. The word Nadir has become todays buzzword with the depth of darkness getting deeper and deeper for the entire humanity. Wish, we are able to come back to our senses before its too late.
ReplyDeleteYes Chinmayee I agree woth your observation
DeleteBeautiful poetry. Thank you for introducing me to these words and concepts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynnette
DeleteThe word is 'Nadir'. Doesn't it sound like a synonym of the present-day situation? Hopefully, we will bounce back to the better days.
